If they don't like contraceptives, fine, don't take them, but why deny them to people who don't believe in a god that thinks abortion is evil? Same thing with homosexuality. If you don't like it, fine, don't get into gay relationships, but what business is it of yours what other people do with their lives?
Basically, most religionists are fascists who wish to control everything everyone does. It is, in fact, a part of most religions, to be fascists and force others to comply. Otherwise, they would do as you suggest.
